I'm kinda curious what the rules are regarding time zones, because it became an issue for me this week. I submitted my photo for the Magazine Cover challenge right at the deadline, which turned out to be 9pm PST for me, 3 hours before June 11th. This caught me off guard, because I thought I had 3 more hours. Regardless, I got my submission in on time, and then was told what the challenge was for this week, self-portraits.

Needless to say, I was really excited about this challenge, and within an hour and a half I had taken the picture I wanted to submit. Technically, it was not June 11th yet when the picture was taken, but I took the picture after I found out what the challenge was from the website. So when I submitted the picture I had to say it was taken on June 11th even though in my time zone it was 90 minutes early. I hope this isn't going to be an issue for disqualification, because the picture I took is one of if not the picture I like most of all the pictures I have ever taken.

Anyone know? I would really hate to disqualified, I love this picture.

you should be fine because the deadlines are EST, so if you took something that was after midnight EST, then you're golden.

ie. if you take the picture after you know what the challenge topic is, you are ok.

We DO take into consideration time zones and dates. Just keep an eye on the timer at the bottom of the site. That's the official DPC time. Easy to keep track of the deadline that way. Luckily I'm in the same time zone, or I'd be alllll messed up.
